We got really excited when we first walked in. This place is really big with lots of furniture and clothes. I grabbed like three lamps and started scouring for other goodies,while my husband checked the price of an awesome old bench. After the intial excitement wore off, and we found out the bench was only there to tease us, as it was not for sale, we also noticed the prices were a little high for what you were getting. The lamps were between $8-$18 and not really in great shape, nor specific antiques. I think you can find goodies, but it does require sorting through a lot of stuff. I guess the front of the clothing area is supposed to be 'consignment store' like, but ... nothing looked that great. A simple, cotton black dress was priced at like $18. This place will stay on the route, but as of yet, we've only purchased one shirt - levis, long sleeve, plaid button up for $2. Not bad after digging, but not a shopping spree. read more

It's nice enough for a thrift store but the prices are higher with furniture and clothes than what I'm used to for a thrift store. Tons of clothes though! Both male and female. More clothes selection that household goods. read more

This thrift store has changed drastically since I started going over a dozen years ago. Originally it was in Oakland, then it moved to Uptown (near Chatham Center); now it's in a Swissvale strip mall. The so-called "finds" used to be put aside for the annual Designer Dress Days, held in November, but you could still find some decent stuff. They had a "Designer Days Boutique" section of the store where you could find some desirable items even if it wasn't November. I remember loading up on cashmere sweaters and nice silk ties. I also remember buying an attractive camel hair jacket there. I was there about a month ago, and thought it was just an off day. Based on today's visit, though, I've come to the conclusion that there's really no reason to ever go back. The men's apparel is sorted by color, not an efficient way to find anything you want in your size. I saw three cotton pique shirts I thought would be fun for summer, but each one--each one--had something wrong with it: a food stain, a snag or an ink mark. In my opinion, the damaged apparel should be sold in a separate area of the store with special pricing. The brands included Merona and St. Johns Bay (proprietary brands of Target and JC Penney, respectively); along with Old Navy, Jos. A. Bank, and Van Heusen. Certainly nothing "designer" or high end. read more

I loved Thriftique's Swissvale location and had high hopes for the new location in Lawrenceville, which opened in Nov 2015. The new store is nice and big, but along with the move the prices seem to be higher, and things don't seem to be marked down as quickly. I also heard that they are letting pickers go through, which is a shame. So there is not much of the quirky, interesting older stuff or the amazing finds that turned up at the old store. But there is a lot of stuff here, mostly of good quality, and it's definitely worth a visit. This store is definitely worth a visit. Note: another reviewer stated that this is "the high end store for the Goodwill brand", which is incorrect. Thriftique is not affiliated with Goodwill; it's run by the Jewish Women's Council, and this is posted prominently at the entrance. read more

This review is actually for the Squirrel Hill store, Designer Days Boutique on Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill. It's part of triad of stores that benefit the Jewish women's center. I LOVED my experience at Designer Days! It was CLEAN in there :) I don't normally like resale shops because I feel like I'm in someone's smelly attic but that is NOT the case here! It was fresh & clean, GREAT clothes at GREAT prices for high end stuff, and GREAT service. If I lived in Pittsburgh I'd be hitting this place every week or so looking for designer bargains. Definitely an enjoyable trip! read more

This is hands down the best thrift store in Pittsburgh! It has the nicest clothes, and the quality of items they have are unmatched! Aside from the clothing and accessories, the staff are great as well, they make for a personable shopping experience. If you need work clothes, fun clothes, or just love finding great treaures check this place out! read more

Terrible experience...save your money and go somewhere else!!! There prices are out of this world expensive...you can shop on eBay and get things cheaper...what a rip off...they have USED PRE-OWNED items priced higher then items that sell brand new...you can't call yourself a "thrift" when all your doing is ripping people off!!! Again terrible experience...will never ever go back!!!! read more

Thriftique is a very big rip off. They say they are non profit.. haha!! They are given donations under the cover of the good will then mark the prices up hundreds of dollars a dresser 300.00 come on for a donation... the tax break they give the average person is pennies. Then to mark it sky high is ridiculous. Thriftique is not only a rip off but they deceive the public. Plz do your research before spending your hard earned money. read more

Just like any thrift store, you can't walk in and expect it to look like Nordstroms. I find the selection to be better that most other area thrift stores, especially in clothing in terms of brand and quality. Good books, great housewares. The hours are a little strange but they always have secret sales happening. Definitely worth the trip! read more

This place is so big ! Has a lot to offer. I love thrifting but this place was a little over priced for some of their second hand clothes. I probably won't go back cause it's expensive. But the cashier was very friendly ! read more

My absolute favorite thrift store! I've been going to Thriftique for 20 years at their various locations. The current location is Swissvale, a large store with plenty of parking. I like it because they have a huge selection and variety of clothes, name brands, designers, even donated tailor-made clothes. If you enjoy searching for the occasional treasure, you will not be disappointed. They always have a sale on something and often I am able to get an amazing deal (not just good, but amazing!) on some fine threads. They have one dressing room. The staff is great. Debbie and Brandon have been there ever since I started shopping there in the 90's so the continuity is rare in any business. Brandon even helped me get a nice tuxedo in which I got married twenty years ago. I live in California now but I always make an effort to stop by when I am in da 'Burgh. And check out their Designer Days Sale in November, a collection of the nicest donations of real upscale items. Some of the nicest clothes that I wear in business came from this store. read more

This place explains why the regular Goodwill stores have no quality clothing. This store has many great brands. Many are very outdated, have holes and stains and are priced like they are gold. If you happen to find the right sale color tag, it may be worth buying. The cashier was very creepy and obsessed with the fabric of each and every item I purchased. Seriously, read all the fabric content tags and went on about how luxurious this or that was. I don't have any intentions of returning. read more
